[applause] so here is the big question of today. who can make us one nation? who can bring

according to ham the people agreed to give the government power in exchange for the government giving the people bites. individuals, as such, you notice, drop out of this contract, and within individual rights. under the new deal theory individuals get whatever rights they receive as members of the people or of a group that is part of the people. in short, all individual rights in this theory are actually group rights. and so this theory of a contract not among individuals, but between the people as a kind of pre-existing whole and their rulers or the government is much more like matt mccarthy than it is like the declaration of independence. it is strangely an almost medieval theory, which is just what hayek put his finger on in the title of his famous book the road to serfdom. there was a kind of return to a liberalism, a much older, more statist few of the contract in which celebrities are grants of relief from government. .. >> uk premiums and eventually you get your benefits. there should be a mandate to make sure. but the spirit is the social solidarity and the mutual risk-taking
